Emergency Procedures for School Closure due to Extreme Weather
Should we experience extreme weather conditions there is a possibility that the school may be closed as we may not be able to staff the school adequately. If school is due to be closed all day, we will aim to make this decision by 7am. If however, it snows heavily during the day, we will send out a text to request that you collect your child ASAP, in order that children can be collected safely and so that staff may then get home safely as quickly as possible. We will inform Somerset County Council who will put a notification on their website and announce it on local radio stations. We will also post information on the school website so please check there for updates: St Benedict’s School website

In addition, we will post information about any school closure on the PTFA website. We would also like to be able to notify you via text message and/or e-mail. This message will be sent to the primary contact mobile phone number on your child’s data collection sheet. Please ensure the school have your up-to-date details or you will not receive updates. If it is snowing/you have any doubts about the school being open, please DO NOT drop your child off and drive/walk away, please come in to confirm the arrangements in place.
